Now, I'm happy for you, and I'mma let you finish, but these are the best babies ever.
Which is why the contest for 2 and 3 is going to be a bit more in depth.
Tell us about his personality, and not just "XXX likes boys and flowers." RP a situation, tell a small story, and it can be about anything you want, from how he feels about his brothers, to what he did this one time.
[b]Username:[/b]
[b]Which egg:[/b]
[b]Long's name:[/b]
[b]Prompt response:[/b]
For the "Which egg" section, you can either put a specific egg or "either egg." You can also choose to submit two entries, one for each egg.
If you want to do a prompt based around family, let's have a little meet the family session:
The daddy, Tong and the papa, Xuanfen.
Brother #1: Yèjiān Kāihuā is the calm one. Whenever his brothers start planning mischief, he just rolls his eyes. He's got a great public presence, and knows how to command when he needs to, but does it very rarely. He does NOT want to come off as bossy.
Brother #4: Hai Ming is terribly, terribly shy.
Brother #5: Bi Xu Qi is a scholar of all things to be known--a.k.a. a total bookworm nerd. Useless facts? He knows them. His insatiable quest for knowledge will inevitably lead him into danger, mayhem and maybe a library job.
This contest will end Tuesday the 23th at 11:59PM EST.

Which egg: Number 2
Long's name: Fēngbào yīnyǐng - means- Storm Shadow
Prompt response: The day all the eggs hatched was a glorious day for Tong Xing and Xuanten. Everyone else was eager to see and meet the babies too. As all the eggs hatched and the new family members came out, only one egg was still having a bit of trouble hatching. Yèjiān Kāihuā kept carefully nudging the egg as if telling his brother to hurry up. Hai Ming watched everyone silently, barely moving so no one noticed him and Bi Xu Qi just stretched and yawned.
Finally the egg gave up and out came Fēngbào yīnyǐng, he looked up at all the eyes watching him and at his brothers as if apologizing for being late. His mother and father smiled. Fēng stretched and got used to being out of his shell. As soon as he could, he began playing and teasing his brothers. He was all about being active and wanted to party and play. He was about to chase a butterfly out of the nest when his mother caught him and his brothers in a loving hug.
He felt happy to be out and to be with his family, and he just couldn't wait until he could go out and explore the world out of his nest.

Which egg: 2, 3
Long's name: Qi Longwei
Prompt response: He's one of those, the kind born under the star of such good fortune that he seems to do no wrong. Everything comes to him easily and he learns quickly. Attractive dragons come to him without him even trying to flirt. He has all the qualities of someone you want to hate, but you just can't Despite being seemingly perfect, he's also genuinely kind and is often taken advantage of. He has very few real friends and is often very sad and lonely, even when he smiles. He relies on his brothers to be his source of truest strength and friendship, because without them, who knows what would happen to little Longwei.
Qi Longwei liked helping others, and when a male friend had asked him for his help in solving a riddle for a contest, Longwei was only too happy to help. They agreed to co-operate and win the prize together. With a week to solve it, he and his friend stay up long nights thinking on the riddle. Well, Longwei did most of the thinking, his friend mostly spent time with the girl he wanted to be his mate. Just before the deadline, the answer finally struck him! The friend was estatic and impressed by Longwei's cleverness at finding the answer. He volunteered to rush over and turn it in before the deadline.
At the awarding ceremony when the winner of the riddle contest was announced, Longwei's heart dropped a little. His "friend" had turned in his answer, but neglected to include his name when he did. As the other male held up his prize and others cheered for his win, Longwei quietly slid from the crowd. His brothers found him sitting quietly to himself later on.
"That was your answer wasn't it?" Bi Xu Qi said as Hai Ming curled around his brother to comfort him. Longwei nodded, smiled sadly.
"He needed the prize more then me anyway...I'm glad for his success." He said, avoiding the eyes of Bi Xu and Yèjiān. His brothers were giving him stern looks for just shrugging off his betrayal, as he always did in these situations.
"You shouldn't be so forgiving, nice, or trusting!' Yèjiān scolded.
Longwei said nothing and listened to his brother's lecture and enjoyed the quiet support of Hai Ming. It was just their way of being there for them and supporting him. He loved his brothers the way they were and he'd never have them any other way.
"Yes, yes Yèjiān, you are right as always." Longwei said, as he always said when his brother ended a lecture. "Can we all forget this and go and get something to eat...?" The brothers all agreed.
Coming across a dumpling vendor, they stopped. "Ah good sirs!" the female vendor exclaimed, "You are in luck! These are my most special dumplings and I only have enough for the five of you! I made too few and no one will buy a uneven amount, so please take them for free and come back for more tomorrow!" She handed each brother a dumpling, giving the largest one to Longwei. He and the vendor arranged to see each other again before the brothers left.
"Luuccckkkkkyyy...." Hai Ming said, nibbling his food. "Qi never has problems with the ladies.."
"Or getting us special things.." chimed in Bi Xu, eating his own. Longwei just smiled. Somehow, some way, despite the let downs and the betrayals, his good fortune always managed to balance and out weigh the bad. This was the flow of his life, and he was just fine with that.

Which egg: Either. c:
Long's name: Tong Qi Loen
Prompt response:
A small rustle, then another. Suddenly all the eggs were full of life, each creature inside trying to burst out. One by one, the babies emerged with each personality becoming more and more visible.
One baby stood out most to his parents for his sudden burst of movement. This little one, later to be named after his daddy Tong, rushed around the other dragons, eagerly smelling each one and flashing a toothy smile. Ton, as he would be called, was happy, exuberant, and full of life and laughter. After investigating all of his new siblings, he ran to his parents, snuggling each one in turn. He looked up at them, seeing their smiling faces, and attempted to mimic them. His smile was wide and genuine, like his little heart, but he needed a bit more practice to keep it from being too much teeth.
Tong looked at this baby, then to Xuanfen. He is so happy and good-willed. I wonder how this one will be as a grown creature, will he always be so positive? Xuanfen merely smiled and cocked his head to the others. They will all be happy, but none so much as him.
((long story short he is like UBER HAPPY ALL THE TIMES and may turn out pretty naive. thanks for forcing me to check out your contest c:))

Username: fefe4e4ver2
Which egg: 3
Long's name: Chi Shui Chi (Literally, "Eat Sleep Eat")
Prompt response: The entire family stood in a small semicircle, curiously awaiting the last egg to hatch. Slowly, almost undetectably, a small crack appeared in the gray exterior. Leaning in closer, the long standing around the egg nearly forgot to breathe in anticipation. Two more small cracks made their debut on the shell, then, without any warning, a single enormous gap appeared in the very center, splitting the egg into halves. A little,slightly chubby, male dragon stood up and blinked. The family smiled. Once he finally reached balance on his feet, though, his stomach grumbled loudly, causing him to fall over. He didn't get up, but instead chose to look curiously at his belly.
"I'm hungry!" he proclaimed loudly. The parents scrambled off to retrieve food for their youngest son, while his older brothers looked at him curiously. He returned their looks, and, after deciding to himself that he did not like the awkwardness of this, he grinned widely and boldly said, "Hi."
"Hi," said Yèjiān Kāihuā equally boldly.
"Greetings," Bi Xu Qi welcomed. Hai Ming shrunk back and gave a meek smile. Just then, their parents arrived with food--lots of it. Buns to rice, they brought all they could carry. Chi Shui Chi squealed with glee and began gobbling up the food as fast as he could. Within ten minutes, what was left of the whole family's meal was all gone. He plopped down on his back and promptly began snoring, his belly an enormous bulge. His family's mouths dropped open in pure shock.
"He'll eat us out of house and home!" murmured Xuanfen, in a shocked daze.
"Agreed," replied Tongxing, shaking his head.
